Welch compression, <b>zip</b> for Deflate compression,
<b>g3</b> for CCITT Group 3 (T.4) compression, and <b>g4</b>

<p>The <small>CCITT</small> Group 3 and Group 4 compression
algorithms can only be used with bilevel data.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Group 3 compression can be specified together with
several T.4-specific options: <b>1d</b> for 1-dimensional
encoding, <b>2d</b> for 2-dimensional encoding, and
<b>fill</b> to force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled
so that the terminating EOL code lies on a byte boundary.
Group 3-specific options are specified by appending a
&lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
&lsquo;&lsquo;g3&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
g3:2d:fill</b> to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL
codes.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><small>LZW</small> compression can be specified together
with a <i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes
each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
options are specified by appending a
&lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
&lsquo;&lsquo;lzw&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
lzw:2</b> for <small>LZW</small> compression with horizontal
differencing.</p>
